APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE Completes Work On New Album

January 15, 2010

Indianapolis doom metal force APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE has completed work on its follow-up to the acclaimed "Sincerest Misery" album, entitled "Last Sunrise", for a March release released in North America via Profound Lore Records and in Europe through Eyes Like Snow.

With the accolades the band have been getting in doom metal circles as one of the most promising doom metal prospects from the States, the band's latest work of soul-stirring doom sees APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE (in who some claim them to be the heirs to the SOLITUDE AETURNUS throne) deliver their most emotionally driven and powerful work yet.

Formed by ex-THE GATES OF SLUMBER drummer Chuck Brown (who handles vocal and guitar duties in AOS),APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE shall follow suit alongside their doom metal comrades in THE GATES OF SLUMBER and will have more awareness spread even further within their homeland with "Last Sunrise".

Nonetheless, "Last Sunrise" is a surging work of traditionally played, hard-hitting doom metal in the familiar vein of such bands as the aforementioned SOLITUDE AETURNUS, CANDLEMASS, ST. VITUS, and THE OBSESSED (the band cover "Streetside" on the North American version of "Last Sunrise"). It's an album that touches upon the realistic modern-day themes which confront our emotions through trials of grief, loss, and ultimately, inevitable despair.

The musical journey of "Last Sunrise" is an adventurous one and by the time the surging album closer, "Coldest Love" (a track quite reminiscent of the power that bands like WARNING unleashed with their "Watching From A Distance" album) falls upon the listener, the tale of the doomed lovers unravels as the inevitable end triumphs in pure doom metal glory.

With the North American version of "Last Sunrise" featuring three killer bonus cover tunes (recorded by THE GATES OF SLUMBER drummer Bob Fouts) that will differ from the European version, the track listing for "Last Sunrise" goes as follows (*denotes North American bonus tracks):

01. Last Sunrise (Requiem)
02. Acknowledging The Demon
03. Other Voices
04. Letting Go Of The Wheel
05. Hunter Sick Rapture
06. December Drives Me To Tears
07. Sister Cruel
08. Frontiers Of Pain
09. Coldest Love
